Today I want you to look yourself in the mirror and say “I am more powerful than I realize”.  It is safe to be powerful!”  We are releasing all of our worries and concerns to God and the angels.  Let go of any past guilt that may be interfering with the happiness that you seek.

Discover the empowering possibilities within in you.  Empowerment means that  you are no longer willing to see yourself as a victim in any shape, form or way!  Give all your worries, concerns and pain to God.  Forgive yourself and allow yourself time to meditate and to forgive yourself as guilt may be interfering with the happiness that you seek.  

The concept of empowerment really comes from the idea of power, inner strength.  To be empowered one must stop  blaming themselves for something that is in the past.  Stop worrying about what others think and use your power to make the world a better place.  See love and allow yourself to shine.  It is time to let go as blame as it is unhealthy and unproductive.   Remember to speak loving and kind words about yourself and others.  If someone is expressing their emotions and anger on to you, send them blessings as that is a way in which to heal yourself.

Super Important:  You cannot control other peoples emotions and feelings, you can only control how yourself and how you react.  Take time to reflect on the beauty and love within yourself.

Sending you blessing and love,

Elizabeth

Belly Fat Cure – Day 2 with the help of Jorge Cruise and his amazing book The Belly Fat Cure.    

I am going to drop inches and pounds by dropping sugar.  Since I was eating so much sugar and the Belly Fat Cure is focused on looking for those food and drink items with little to no sugar and watching carbs.  I am going to let Jorge share with you how to create easy to prepare meals, create a shopping list and take all the guess work out of it for you.  If you are like me and eat sugar…follow this blog and I will tell you what happens as I go through the program.  I am one who commits and does it so no worries about me falling out.

 Yesterday we were guided to look at our thoughts, actions and begin yet another healing.  I sat for a long time yesterday in the stillness of my day thinking healthy thoughts.  I began thinking about “how” do I begin my weight loss program.  I have gained 15 pounds since November and am in awe that I let myself go.  I was in tears yesterday because I could not zip up my jeans.  Ok, now it is my fault for periodically eating too many sweets, that extra slice of  pizza and unhealthy food choices.  I have been helping others and letting myself go.  

A dear friend of my called me yesterday with a weight loss program.  When I opened the email with my instructions, I cringed.  I did not think I could do the diet.  The food was not what I would eat and when I commit, I commit.  So, we had a long talk last night and today I am on a diet – a diet that I can commit to.  She is my accountability partner.  She is going to call me every day to make sure that I am still on track and to cheer me on.  If this is you and you want to loose a few pounds, drop a bad habit, or seek alternative medicine choices – get a buddy!

The message this morning is that there are so many people wanting to know what to do next with their health.  Check out different methods, alternative medicine choices.  Begin your research and you will get that gut feeling of which way to go.  If you have someone who is pushing their idea or stating you have no choice – get a second opinion.  If  you are wondering if you are being called to the health profession, begin today by researching what interests you.  Take the first step.

Sending you all blessings and love,

Elizabeth Cuckson

Angel Reading for the Week of February 19, 2012

Sunday – Tuesday:   This is a time to pay attention to how you feel and make positive changes so that you can achieve those goals you’ve been working on.  It is a time of recovery and healing (yes, more healing).   NOW, is a time to take action.  They are holding your hand throughout your recovery and changes.  If you are looking at getting back into shape, letting go of an addictions such as eating unhealthy, drinking too much caffeine, or even consuming unhealthy substances – your angel are reminding you to ASK and they will help you.  This message also expands in to what we think and dream about.  You are being asked to open your heart wider and know that you are protected. This is a time of trust and change.  What are your goals and intentions?  Put them out there to be heard!

Wednesday – Thursday:  Give all your worries, concerns and pain to God.  Forgive yourself and allow yourself time to meditate to forgive yourself as guilt may be interfering with the happiness that you seek.  If you are blaming yourself for something that is in the past, it is time to let go as blame is unhealthy and unproductive.   Remember to speak loving and kind thoughts about yourself.  If someone is expressing their emotions and anger on to you, send them blessings as that is a way in which to heal yourself.  You cannot control other peoples emotions and feelings, you can only control how you react.  Take time to reflect on the beauty and love within yourself.  

Friday – Saturday:  On Sunday we were to focus on on goals and intentions and to release our fears and doubts.  We are reminded  to stay strong and relaxed as the angels help us with our situations.  If you are connected to a situation, they remind us to step back, detach and allow the situation to happen naturally.  Remember that it is your decision and if you take slow steady action the answers will come.  If you are being pressured in a relationship that is going to fast, know it is ok to slow down.  If you are being pressured to sign a contract, you can try to negotiate to see if you can get a better deal or opportunity.  The message is – take your time in making any decision.  It not a time to rush as the opportunity, if it is right, will still be there.  

A big thank you to the angels this week for their guided Angel Reading and for protecting and guiding you.    

Blessings and love,

Ok my peeps, what is going on in your life as the angels said there is still  work to be done in regards to opening our hearts and allowing more peace, love and joy in.  There are a few things I can share with you in regards this.  

Lets start with the physical.  Maybe there is a need to take care of your body through a few new healthy habits.  If you are not working out, maybe start with a short walk, drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods.  Yes, I know there are eggs,  and milk in cake, but that is not what I mean.  :)  You can also carry a rose quartz in your pocket to help you with healing as well as bring in some beautiful fragrant flowers.

Now the mental with the emotional.  Has someone recently disappointed you or left?  Is this a loved one that may have passed and you are thinking of them?  Is this an Ex who may have showed back up in your life and stirred up old memories?  Is someone trying to manipulate you or pressure you? Either way I want you to THINK of something that brings you great joy and love.  Keep that thought and take a deep breath and let go of any pressure or discomfort.  Do this as many times as you need to bring a calm and loving emotion back into your body.  Thoughts are reflected around you in the circumstance you are engaged in.  What you think about you create in your life.  So remember it is important to keep the thoughts positive.  

I am going to share a technique which you will want to be in a calm, quiet environment where you can get into a meditative state (prayer like state).  You will take in a few deep breaths and imagine that your feet connect to the earth.  You can visualize your feet like tree trunks where they have roots and they grown into the earth.  Go deep into the earth and connect.  Your feet will feel a little heavy.  Then you are going to imagine a beautiful light come through the top of your head and go down thru your feet and into the earth.  You will feel a great calm.  Now you are ready to begin by programming your subconscious with the following command:

I don’t know how I open my heart to love.

I only know I do now, and I am fulfilled!

Blessings and love,

Elizabeth

Through the Eye of Awareness

The angels reminded us recently to look for external signs to tell us what to do next.  Did you see, hear, or feel any signs in the past couple of days?  I felt so many emotions this week.  It truly has been a thriller of a week where my heart feels like it needs a seatbelt on the roller coaster of life.  I feel excited and full of life and then I have an experience or lets call it an “awareness” where I feel am introduced into a conversation, meeting or group that is all fear, lack or drama.  I listen with my heart and find myself sending love and light.  If the conversation and negative talk continues, I typically say something positive to turn the conversation around.  Sometimes I think of something happy or exciting and allow that happy energy to enter the conversation.  If the conversation continues, I disengage in the conversation as it is not for my highest good and excuse myself.  

I used to feel bad because of  the judgment and what others may think of me.  It took me a long time to realize that I am the biggest advocate for myself.  If I truly live each moment in the present moment, I realized how important it was to be at peace, happy, and joy.  Ask yourself a simple question.  If today were my last, would I spend it in a conversation or thought that brings me down?   If you surrounded yourself with positive energy, you will grow and flourish.  A perfect example is your work environment.  If you are lucky enough to work with people who are always happy and positive, that is fabulous!  If not, here is a suggestion.  When you enter a meeting, breathe slowly and deeply.  Take time to make yourself present.   Focus on the issue not the drama.  Allow yourself to just be content being in your chair.  Think about something that makes you feel at peace, happy or in a place of joy.  Hold that feeling inside.  When the meeting begins, continue to breathe slowly.  Do not participate in the meeting from a place of drama.  Be aware.  What is the solution to the problem?  In being calm, breathing and being aware and listening to the issue – see how the solution will become clearer.  

Homework for today is be clear about what we desire in our lives, clearly visualize them, release any fear and guilt and go within for the answers.  If you have been following the guidance of the angels, they have guided us to this place.  We have been asked to forgive, let go, become crystal clear in what we desire and to look for signs.  Are you looking through the eye of awareness?  Go within and be still.  What do you hear?  

Blessings and love,

Elizabeth 

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

Today come from a place of gratitude and abundance and expand your heart.  Today is another day of love and compassion where we take good care of ourselves.  Provide yourself with that unconditional love.  Look at what you HAVE  and do your best to stay out of the a place of lack.  This will assist you in manifesting vs creating additional lack into your life.  

The reading on Sunday gave us a look ahead to the weekend where a shift will be moving us in a new direction.  I feel this will be in regards to work, relationships and/or money.  Be open to the change. Trust in the process. It is all good!

I would love to give each of you a BIG Valentine’s Day hug.  So take your right arm and wrap it around your left shoulder.  Take your left arm and wrap it around your right shoulder.  Now SQUEEEEZZZZEEEEE!  Happy Valentine’s Day.  I love you!

Here are a few fun Valentine day Videos to wish you all a day of  compassion and love.

Isn’t it interesting that when we ask for something that we really want with no attachment, we get it or something better.  My husband and I decided to treat our children to a quick lunch out.  We asked our kids what they wanted and they said pancakes and balloons.  We drove to the IHOP in Castle Rock and we were pleasantly surprised.  Our children were excited as they had hoped they would get balloons made by Linda. We couldn’t promise them anything as we just didn’t know if she would be there.  When we walked in we were greeted by two fabulous people Corey, our waiter, and Linda.  

Linda Balloon Fun (303-246-7006)

Linda made a beautiful Valentine Princess wand and a marvelous little monkey with crazy eyes.  She can make a surprise for your sweetheart, so if you live in the Highlands Ranch/ Castle Rock metro area make sure to give her a call at Linda’s Balloon Fun (303) 246-7006 as she is booking up fast!

Now on to Corey who provided us service with a smile as well.  I have to tell you, this guy has an amazing memory and a great personality.  He started with our drink order that my kids changed a few times.  When he returned he wanted us to make sure we were careful with the hot chocolates so we added a little ice to cool it off.  When Corey returned to take our order he scores high on the “Listen to your customers”.   He got everything right, he went the extra mile to make sure our drinks were never empty, we got extra gravy for our chicken fried steak and I watched as he did that at every table.  Thank you Corey!

After filling up on lunch, my husband took the kids out so I could do a little Valentine shopping.  I went to another local shop in Castle Rock that was super cute and once again – service with a smile.  BLING! is a fabulous place to shop in downtown Castle Rock.  Claudine was fantastic with setting me up with a couple new outfits.  We laughed as we created a few new looks and she is ordering me a shirt in my size.  I felt like I was shopping with my best friend.  How awesome is that?  

Once again, a big thank you to my local community for providing outstanding service with a smile!  What can you do today to offer your service with a smile?

Blessings and love,

Elizabeth

In celebrating Whiney Houston’s life, I am sharing one song that I think sums it all up. Greatest Love of All

My memories of Whitney are of love, compassion and her beautiful smile.  I grew up with her music and have enjoyed watching her grow and influence so many including myself.  She shared her artistic talents in music, film and outstanding performances, but that also means she touched millions with her voice and her message.  In “Greatest Love of All”, I believe she is singing about herself.  She wants to be a child and believe in herself, in her dreams.  ”Sometimes the greatest love of all is easy to achieve” but how many of us truly go all out and believe in ourselves, love ourselves enough to go for it? “Learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all.”  

As a teenager I had a great friend, a soulmate,  who would sing and dance with me.  We were there for each other.  Whitney’s music brought out so much in me and during difficult times in my life, I have pulled out her music.  I play her music and remember those times in my life when I was happy, in love, a child and most importantly loving myself for who I am and not what others want me to be.  

I will leave you with one of my favorite songs and that isI WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.  I am sharing the video with the lyrics to her music so that you can see her picture, but really listen and know the words of what she shares.  

If you are in grief over her loss, I invite you today to celebrate her life.  Celebrate the amazing gifts she has given in her voice and in her messages. 

Blessings in love,

Elizabeth 

Angel Reading for the Week of February 12, 2012

Sunday – Tuesday:   The angels are asking if you see the signs they are leaving for you.  Sometimes we see feathers, coins, repeated visions or even birds and butterflies.  Yesterday I walked into my kitchen and saw a feather.  We do not have a bird or any way for the feather to come into our home.  I laughed as I know it is a sign from someone who is tell me they love me.  I typically ask and become still to see if I can use my senses to receive who it is.  They want us to know they are sending all of their love and are here to guide us.  Have you ever wondered about a loved one that has passed?  Have you looked for signs that they are around?  Many people that I work with are afraid to see, but are ok with a sign.  Today, ask for a sign and allow your angels or a loved one leave with a sign.  Be open to anything as it could be as subtle as smell or movement of a picture frame or rug.  Write a letter to that loved one and let them know how you feel.  Be open.  Be present.  

Wednesday – Thursday: The angels remind us that we look for external signs to tell us what to do next.  Interesting as they shared that they would provide signs Sunday – Tuesday.  Now they are asking us to be clear about what we desire in our lives, clearly visualize them, release any fear and guilt and go within for the answers.  If you have been following their guidance, they have guided us to this place.  We have been asked to forgive, let go, become crystal clear in what we desire and to look for signs.  Now we are being asked to go within and be still.  What do you hear?  

Friday – Saturday:  We are getting a real spiritual workout this week.  It appears that we need to be present to notice that the signs that we were receiving and the introspection we are having are guiding us to a change.  Be open to a new phase in your life.  Be open to the changes that are coming up.  You may be starting a new phase in your life, shifting friends or other things that may have been of interest before.  If it is a little uncomfortable, just know that sometimes change is difficult or uncomfortable IF YOU resist.  Go with the flow and allow the blessings to appear.  

A big thank you to the angels this week for their guided Angel Reading.

Blessings and love,

Elizabeth
